McFarlane DC Multiverse

I’m beginning to wonder how many of these figures would be coming out if Todd had retained the license? So many of these are the-hard-to-come-by, expensive-on-ebay figures being rereleased with some changes. New heads, new paint, etc. And the SDCC Beast Boy exclusive from last year that was listed for $450.00 Buy It Now on ebay, last time I checked.
 
Aw, heck, that Billy Dee Two Face looks good. Figures that he and Black Mask are both Red Platinums. I think I've seen one Red Platinum on the shelves...maybe ever? I can't even remember the last time I saw a Page Punchers on shelves either, aside from maybe Forbidden Planet here in NY, which always bumps the prices.

I have a feeling that pretty much all the figures I want in these last few months are gonna be Red Platinums. Don't get me wrong- I'm glad to be getting some of these characters at all, and I know we're only getting them because of the Red Platinums meaning he can do lower production numbers, but still. Would be nice if he could just, you know... release them normally?

I know we're all in the same boat, pretty much. We don't often get rare things here in NY, at least in a timely manner, but on the off chance I see anything that anyone might want, I'll snag it and see if anyone here needs it. Gotta help each other out!

I'm guessing these were all planned but intended to be spread out over the course of this year and next. But things being what they are, now we're getting all the cheap and easy reuse shoved out all at once as a money grab. Just a hunch. I wonder if there will even be official solicits for this stuff or if the attitude at this point is, "F-it, whatever. Get them on the shelves. We'll save money on advertising and let instagram do it."

Dude, I’m sure we all appreciate the effort, but take care of yourself first. NYC is a small, densely populated place with virtually no big box retail options. Certainly no Walmarts. Grab and go. Pay first of course. 🤪👍

We have Target! Granted, most of them are rather small with some iffy toy sections, but it counts! I do miss Walmart, though. Sometimes I just want to feel closer to the White Trash that I am, you know?

A couple folks here have been kind enough to help me out, so it's the least I can do in return! It's fun, being on the hunt for something, and helping others helps me feel good. I'll be selfish if I find Black Mask or BDTF, but otherwise, I'm here to help! Post what you're looking for here or over in the "I'm Looking For" thread; can't make any promises, obviously, but I'll do my best!

Thanks man. But in a heavily populated urban area with a handful of options, we realize that you’re up against not only other collectors in your same situation, but scalpers too. Nasty aggressive NYC scalpers with box cutters up their sleeve’s. And I’m guess about a 4/1 collector to scalper ratio. I’d also surmise that both Forbidden and Mid-Town have people out looking too.
 
I’ll probably get Two-Dee just cause of how unique it is but I never read the book.

Pissed that Kid Flash is still on the adult body instead of something closer to Damien.

Will probably wait until Mattel for their eventual Teen Titans

Black Adam, Black Mask, Brainiac, and Sinestro are must haves
 
Everything shown is the remainder from the January rumor list. The only figure not shown so far is Collector Edition Kilowog. A repaint from the 2 pack with Kyle along with a Platinum Edition figure.

I'll get Black Adam, Sinestro, Brainiac & Black Mask. I have the other Kid Flash, so I'm not sure I will get the new one. I'll probably get Sentinel since it hasn't been made before. I already have Red Hood. I'll get Beast Boy and probably Question. I'll get Alex Ross Superman & Batman as well as Two-Face. I'm good the Keaton Batman that I have.
 
The March Rumors are: (probably all repaints but some may have new head sculpts)

DC MULTIVERSE: Batman (Kelley Jones) - probably Troika Batman with a new head sculpt
DC MULTIVERSE: Batman (Neal Adams) - probably Knightfall Batman with a new head sculpt
DC MULTIVERSE: Batman (Arkham Knight) - been done, either a re-release or repaint

DC MULTIVERSE: GOLD LABEL: Robin (Silver Age) - I hope this isn't the Carrie Kelly body with a new head. They are making a Batman 66 Robin so maybe it will be that body with a new head.
DC MULTIVERSE: GOLD LABEL: Catwoman (Hush) - my guess is Arkham City Catwoman with a repaint

DC MULTIVERSE COLLECTOR EDITION (2 PACK): Superman Red & Superman Blue - I hope this is the Silver Age figures since they made Red a Platinum and didn't make Blue. It might be the Electric Blue & Red figures
DC MULTIVERSE COLLECTOR EDITION (2 PACK): Batman & Robin (Batman 66)

DC MULTIVERSE (2 PACK): Atrocitus (Mega Figure) & Red Lantern - could be any Lantern body

DC MULTIVERSE (MEGA): GOLD LABEL: Bane (Comic Book version)
DC MULTIVERSE (MEGA): GOLD LABEL: Doomsday (Death of Superman)

DC THEATRICAL: Batman (Justice League) - re-release, maybe a repaint
DC THEATRICAL: Poison Ivy (Batman & Robin) - re-release, maybe a repaint

DC THEATRICAL DELUXE: Batman (BATMAN 2022)
DC THEATRICAL DELUXE: Battle Damaged Catwoman (Batman Returns)
DC THEATRICAL DELUXE: James Gordon (The Dark Knight) - would they do a new buck or use the Year One Gordon or the Penguin from BATMAN 2022?
DC THEATRICAL DELUXE: Mr. Freeze (Batman & Robin)
 
BLUE SINESTRO! Announced the day after I finally picked up the Green Sinestro Collector Corps figure AND worked him delicately into my shelf. Of course.

I almost listed for sale yesterday the Unmasked Red Hood I randomly decided to buy a few months ago. Whoops. Found out he's some alternate universe version and not main? The only alt Batman I need is Beyond. And Rainbow. :)

Of these I need:
Sinestro
Brainiac
Black Mask
Black Adam

Tempted by:
89 New Batman
Two-Dee (ha)
Beast Boy (I never could bring myself to open the SDCC in case I needed to sell it)
Question
Kid Flash MAYBE
